  1. How to understand the riven market:

    • God/godly/demi godly/best/great/highest-tier: Stuff that let's you one-shot enemies and brag instead one-shot enemies by modding well
    • "shops": spent 10 hrs on trade chat from all regions/trade forums/wftrader/discord...
    • view profile: same desperate WTS post everyday without closing the previous ones, making the use of search function impossible
    • view profile: account created one month ago, WTS god tier stuff 3 days later

    Jokes aside, I have bought a Dmg/Multi/CD/-zoom Ignis riven for 2.5k way back and it is worth the plat for me. The seller had prices for all the rivens he was selling which looked fair to me. We chatted and he even linked his friend's ignis riven selling for 2k with slightly worse stats. Also bought unrolled/trash rivens for stuff that I actually use orthos/guandao/opticor/lanka/sicarus/tigris/pandero that range from 50-1k and rolled them to be sufficient for my use. There isn't any content that I want to play which requires the rivens but they do provide some quality of life. However, I can't imagine spending more than 3k just to see higher damage number.

    I'm guessing all the rivens priced 3k+ are hardly traded between players that actually need them but instead between resellers/scammers using toxic plat/kids with parent's credit card. Not sure how is the market on PS4 but as long as there are people willing to stare at trade text there will be a riven market.

  2. Bringing more than one melee weapon might be too far off the table but I think alternative modes that change damage types on melee can be interesting. Technically we have quick melee/equipped melee/channeling modes on a single melee weapon now.

    But I think the problem lies with enemy composition. Outside of bosses, you don't get many situations where you take a while to kill one or a few enemies. Usually it goes more like this: using one weapon for status/crit to weake... oops all dead. 😅

  3. Mastery Rank only directly measure how many warframes and weapons a players has maxed ranked. Of course there is a significant correlation between the skill/knowledge of game mechanics and MR but it is by no means a true representation. There are MR4-6 players that can keep up with players that put in 1000hrs and MR20+ players that don't even know how to parkour well.

    There are slightly useful restrictions like a level 30 frame for sorties and ESO but DE expects most players to use the recruiting chat or ask friend/clannies if a specific experience is desired like radshares or specific frames are expected like CC/defensive/nuke frames to endless missions.

    If you choose to run on public then you have to accept whoever gets matched to you. They have as much right to play at whatever pace they want, just as you have to right to leave and join another session. You might see them as leeches while they might see you as spoiling their challenging adventure. 

  4. Kohm is not gonna get "nerfed" but DE has mentioned in multiple occasions that riven disposition will get a balance check when they have time to go through it.

    Things only get nerfed quickly if they severely affect gameplay/combat/loot drops.

    Recent examples off the top of my head

    • Self-damage castanas + Trinity link + aviator = no aim kills
    • Large range melee weapons spin to win through walls = afk farming
    • Power strength affecting hydroid pilfering strength = loot caves

    They do know about the 100% status chance mechanic with shotguns but they don't have time to think about how to change it, being occupied with all the upcoming content and other reworks are under the spotlight now like melee 3.0 and dark sectors/kingpin system. DE has learnt to not make sudden rebalances, that's why there is a Developer Workshop thread to inform players and gather feedback.

    Unless kohm can clear maps without aiming or one-shot eidolons, I doubt they would change a single riven disposition and not rework the entire riven system or shotgun status mechanic. So leaving it the whales and resellers to chase after all that useless overkill.

  5. Short answer: Skill

    In a 4 man team it's easier to have everyone just doing one dedicated job. Trinity to heal heal. Chroma to dps. Harrow to deal with mag proc. Volt/rhino to speed things up. They just need to learn how to press a button once in a while and you have a decent team. Simpler for new players that dont have all the mods or a well formaed min maxed loadout.

    Takes much more skill to use an all rounder like oberon, keeping the heal up, distributing the buffs, making sure the ground is covered for status nullify. Personally I think a 4 man dedicated role team from chat would fare better than a 4 man oberon team.

    If you watch this guy. Solo capture hydrolyst - Using Trinity/Oberon 20 mins each You will learn that there is ALOT to completely min max a loadout for eidolon hunting.

    • Meteoric dash & void strike from madurai
    • Mods: Dead eye/several maxed rank 10 mods
    • Armor stripping with shattering impact using sarpa
    • Adarza kitty/ arcane avengers/nullify
    • Even his strategy of making lures stay and using the downtime to capture lures while in archwing mode saves a few minutes.

    You cant expect a team formed in recruiting chat to be well versed in all of these.

    PS: His lanka riven is only +multi +CC. No third stat no negative. I dare say spending 15p on dead eye would reap more benefits than those whales buying 5-10k lanka rivens. 😂

  6. It's probably impossible to add mag after the prime vault date has been announced. I remember a similar situation previously when players asked for separate prime accessories. DE replied something about communication between the marketing and developers so it's not something they can add or change so easily and they can only do it going forward which is what happened this time.

    Also, I suspect that mag prime along with boar and dakra prime are deliberately not included in the prime vault this time.

    A loooong way back, frost and mag primes with their weapon sets were introduced before the first Prime access (Ember Prime) came along with a set of cosmetic accessories. Now that they are doing separate prime accessories, they have reverted to unvaulting with respective prime accessories which I personally prefer. So there would not have any cosmetics to accompany with mag prime.

    Maybe this means mag prime might come out from other places? Baro/Fortuna/Railjack/giant spiders? Who knows. Or maybe they just forgot about poor old mag.

  7. Finally, after 3 years we finally get separate prime accessories packs. Thanks for sticking to the original sets with their respective prime access accessories and not mix & match them.

    Although Targis prime armor has reappeared many times, setting it straight going forward is the best way to prevent future players from complaining about having to buy duplicate sets. 

  8. Firstly you are wrong to say DE will not increase riven capacity because they have done it before. Update 21.6 - 29th August 2017 - Riven capacity increased from 60 to 90. And they have tried to explain it numerous times that riven data takes a lot of server space to save that's why it takes time to raise it.

    If you are trying to discuss a change in the sorties system then why even bring up the riven capacity?

    Just make the discussion about changing the sorties system. Have a warning that riven mods will not be rewarded if players proceed. That's something I welcome also when I don't have time to do trading.

    You should have started you post with you goal and left out the whole front portion. Would eliminate half the comments from people trying to tell you what to do.

    hi...

    ok, DE will not increase RiVEN slot capacity, for any reason that does not matter here...

    the idea is not to discuss the RiVEN capacity, but rather about not being able to do SORTiEs, as long as you do not have at least a free RiVEN slot!!

    I meant, as in my case, that I already have the maximum enabled (90 slots)

    I do not have any more free slots and I want all the RiVENS that I have...  I like everyone and I do not want to get rid of some!

    And I also do not want to have to melt one, so I can make SORTiEs.

    My goal here is to suggest to DE, that it will be possible for everyone who does not have RIVEN space, to be able to do the SORTiEs...

    but with the following PENALTY:

    if the RiVEN drop, the player who does not RiVEN space, does not will get the RiVEN

    I think this is fair enough... because is unfair, not can do the SORTiEs, only because it does not have enough RiVEN space

     

     

  9. Warframes are developed with a theme in mind, which can be abstract stuff like music/rage or archetypes like dragon/mummy/fairy. DE usually tries to stay within the sci-fi universe and the concept needs enough depth to generate 4 appropriate skills and/or interesting passives/mechanics.

    So if you are suggesting some vitality/life essence based concept then maybe? There is a vampire/sentient/revenant based warframe in the works now. Revenant info from Devstream 112

    But if you just have a image or impression in mind then probably you are looking for a tennogen or deluxe skin.

  10. Firstly, the info about how this is going to be implemented is pretty limited, only mentioned in the recent devtream. So if I were to guess it will be something like Aklex where we exchange for relics and then grind for parts.

    So instead of waiting 6 months to 2 yrs for the respective prime vaults to open for a duration of 1 month, we are gonna get 2 days to exchange for relics and then throw them at rng.

    Personally I think who ever came up with this idea needs to be locked in a room and only let out when they have tried farming for it.

    Also what would happen to the prime access cosmetics that came out together?

    The prime vault should just be unvaulted 4 primes per year just like how they vault in 4 primes per year. Simple math, everyone is happy. And for those concerned about relics dilution during unvaulting, there can be special missions that drop the prime relics specifically or relic exchanges.

  11. I'm surprised it's not a new prime mod based on the previous login rewards.

    Not too disappointed though, a team of 4 green vaubans with these on their back and we would be team ninja turtles.

  12. I don't think a straight up scaly fire-breathing dragon would really fit in warframe. Like how we don't have dogs and cats but instead more genetically modified and evolved kubrows and kavats.

    Also it was mentioned in Devstream 100 that there will be new eidolon coming and they are trying to make parts of the fight where it will fly around.
